Let me tell you about being old. I remember going to the corner store for my mom, and getting a quart of milk, a loaf of bread, a pack of Pall Malls, and a comic book, for less than a buck.
Here in Motown, I think when I started driving in '65, gas was about 23 or 24 cents a gallon.
I have a '20 Ecoboost 'vert, with the auto trans. The gear selector indicator lights show up in the instrument cluster, but the position (PRNDS) indicators next to the console selector lever are not illuminated. Is this normal? I just noticed this, as I haven't driven the car after dark very...

Me, too, except for number 4. I can't even imagine such a thing (and don't want to).
As far as using the top as a theft deterrent, the guy that stole my '70 Cougar just cut the top open and climbed in.
